[Pkg-exim4-users] Two Message-ID headers - filter out to only one?

[Bruce A. Bergman]

Thanks Andreas. Actually, WHO put the headers in there is less important 
to me than knowing how to get them out. :) I didn't honestly think about 
whether exim4 was adding the header or not, or else I would have come to 
the same conclusion as you, so thanks for setting that part straight.

However, my main question was (and still is): how I can I get rid of the 
excess header? Is there a rule I can create in exim4 that will remove an 
extra header of a particular type? If there is, I think that'll be an 
excellent way to clean this issue up.

Thanks!
bruce
